What kicking game did he watch? MIssed FGs, extra points, not great punting, bad coverage teams on KO, not great punt returns...special teams for Bama was anything but special. Adequate - yes, but I could imagine them playing A LOT better

I think Auburn is underrated on this list....and Alabama isn't mentioned. I would rather have an NFL career than a Heisman Trophy. Ask Mr. Yeldon how many Bama running backs made it to NYC before Mark Ingram... http://cfn.scout.com/2/861446.html

...and your nonsensical reply applies how exactly? I acknowledge that Bush signed the law, but I also acknowledge that conservative Republicans were unhappy with the direction that the party was headed in. It was basically tyranny w/ a D or tyranny-lite w/ an R before 2009. That's why the Tea Party has risen so dramactically since just 2009 into basically determining the dialogue leading up to the 2010 elections until now. Those elected representatives are doing exactly what they were elected to do in our representative republic, and that is to oppose legislation that is fiscally irresponsible (as the previous two years were). Trillions of dollars were spent with very little in return from 2008 (heck, 2006) to 2010. Massive health-care bills were passed and signed. Bailouts were passed and signed. Stimulus bills were passed and signed. Cap and trade was passed in the House. Obama and the D raised the debt from $10.7T when he took over to about $16.8T by the time he leaves office...are you saying that he didn't get a fair shake? BTW, Bush raised it $5T in 8 years, so I'm not saying that he was any better. This new Conservative wave were sent to oppose that nonsense and present solid plans that would put us on a fiscally-sound trajectory - Ryan's budget proposal, Cut-Cap-Balance, Obamacare repeal & replacement w/ liability reform, purchase across statelines, etc., numerous requirements to cut spending in the CRs, etc. which have all been passed and sent to the Senate. I think those qualify as more than "a single idea", but I know politico and moveon.org don't report them.

Furthermore, Republicans didn't control all of Congress in 2008. The Democrats controlled the House outright (since 2006) which is where all of federal spending originates, and the Democrats held an effective majority in the Senate (49 senators and 2 independents). Bush really only had the veto option at his disposal. Recall that he spent half immediately and left half to Obama.

I think the original poster was pretty clear in saying "real conservatives"...I don't think anybody would tag Bush as a conservative - he was an establishment Republican...just like Romney...just like Christie...just like Dole...just like McCain (in most ways)...just like Perry (in most ways)....etc. I don't think anybody would tag every member of the Republican Party as "real conservatives"...that's where the term RINO comes from. Reading comprehension isn't that hard, really.

You're saying that playing four SEC teams ranked in the Top 18, one of those the #1 team in the country, and 3 of those games on the road

reminds you of....

Playing a Pac12 team (on a neutral field) that has proven it doesn't belong on the same field as top-tier SEC teams, a top-tier BIG EAST team, a 2-2 SECW middling (btw, that Auburn has also beaten) on a Thursday night, and Northwestern State.

Now Auburn isn't nearly as good as LSU, but your point is laughable at best. In fact, I'm reminded of why I cancelled my Huntsville Times subscription before football season last year, and didn't think twice about renewing it during Auburn's historic run.

"taxation without representation", really? You realize that you made the choice to drive to that store, and you decided to buy a product in that store, right? You got a product in exchange for your money. Taxation without representation should be reserved for a situation where taxes are REQUIRED to be paid with little to no benefit being received in return.

Didn't know that making a convenient outlet for moving consumer goods was so unpatriotic. You could support your local exchange services instead, no matter the associated higher cost of moving smaller quantities of those goods. In fact I do that anyway even though I'm in Huntsville b/c I prefer the higher quality goods. Mismanagement of HSV schools or road conditions b/c of allocation of ADOT resources is an ancillary consideration when purchasing goods. Having a convenient and relatively local source of goods is much more important to me, rather than driving miles and miles just to avoid giving a certain city a relatively small portion of my total purchase.

and what exactly is wrong with Wednesday through Friday? Monday and Tuesday are opinion based statements, however the first one was starting to be trumpeted by the MSM until the HealthCare law passed. Tuesday's statement is borderline fact-based, considering the enormity of debt he has placed directly on the taxpayer's shoulders. Your statement for Saturday shows a general lack of understanding how exactly the economy works.

What about an expired tag from the state of Alabama? For instance, I like the old Auburn tag better than the new one. So can I put that one on the front of my car now that it is expired and I've replace it?

wait, wasn't that developed under the Constellation Program for the Altair lander? But I thought that the Constellation Program didn't have any new technology and had nothing to show for the $9B spent so far? What gives?!? That can just be added to the Ares I-X, Pad Abort 1, new friction stir welding processes & equipment, J-2X demonstrators and full up engine that will be completed this year, new test stand @ SSC, launch pad and tower @ KSC, AR&D on Orion, 5 segment RSRB, etc. etc.
